Blooming Texas!
The Witte Museum is hosting through Fall of 2000 the "Blooming
Texas!" exhibit, which features a bounty of spring wildflower scenes
painted from the late 19th century to early 20th century from
the Witte's renowned Texas painting collection. From bluebonnets to cactus
blossoms, "Blooming Texas" features flowers that are guaranteed
to stay fresh throughout the season. (left: Julian Onderdonk (1882-1922),

According to www.texasartgallery.com,
"The exhibit features many of the winners of the Davis competitions,
including Arpa's "Verbena" painting and many others. Also
featured are several works by Salinas, Wood, McGill, Hohnstedt (1929 -"Evening
Shades"), DeYoung, Onderdonk, Cartwright (1929 - "Wild Poppies"),
Taylor and some very nice Dawson-Watson cactus paintings. The exhibit has
brief bios of the artists and is a rare chance to see all these very nice
paintings in one exhibit."
"Blooming Texas" also includes Texas pottery
and folk art highlighting the spectacular wildflowers of the state. Free
with museum admission.
